Reporting from Washington - Troubled by the rising jobless rate, President Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are assembling a new jobs package that would devote billions of dollars to projects meant to put people back on payrolls in 2010 and keep them working.

Discussions over the scale of the bill are fluid, but lawmakers said the intent was to move swiftly and get a bill to Obama's desk as early as January.

Well spending packages haven't worked before, but maybe if we're really lucky it will this time. The problem is that the laws of economics tell us that this can't work, and will only lead to more problems. The government cannot create jobs. In trying to do so the government simply destroys real jobs, and creates more malinvestment.

The first porkulus bill was just that, pork, very little job creation. Also, anything the Govt provides as a job in the private sector is a temp fix. The job will be going away when the project is over then back to unemployment line. These idiots need to catch a clue and read a little history to see what works to create jobs and Govt ain't it folks.

You gotta hand it to the Libs. The first plan didn't work so what's the answer? Well you do it again!.Can anybody say stimulus plan #2. Still don't see anyone in the State run media being critical of the President on anything.
